أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْت الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يَبْتَاعُ الْجَارِيَةَ لَا تَبْلُغْ الْمَحِيضَ وَلَا تَحْمِلُ مِثْلُهَا، كَمْ يَسْتَبْرِئُهَا؟، قَالَ :" ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ "، وقَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ : " بِخَمْسَةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا "

Muhammad bin Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Omar bin Abdul-Wahid, on the authority of Al-Awza’i, he said: I asked Al-Zuhri about a man who buys a female slave. She has not reached the age of menstruation and has not become pregnant like her. How long can he make her pregnant? He said: “Three months,” and Yahya bin Abi Kathir said: “Five.” And forty days.”
